Stone Cold Comments On ‘Tough Enough’ Gig, Superstars Rating

Stone Cold Steve Austin commented on Twitter regarding reports of him hosting the returning WWE Tough Enough. As mentioned earlier, Entertainment Weekly first broke the news. Within a few hours later, WWE and USA sent out a press release confirming the news. He was considered — and obviously given the role — because the series will be taped in Los Angeles, and Austin is currently residing there for his movie roles. Here’s what Austin had to say about the gig: “Thanks for all of your congratulation tweets! I am very excited about hosting WWE Tough Enough. And that’s the bottom line cause I said so.”

Last night’s edition of WWE Superstars on WGN America (01/27/11) 0.64 cable rating with 755,000 viewers. The replay did a 0.17 rating with 120,000 viewers.
